(The Center Square) —  New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte is chasing after a slice of federal funding from a $50 billion hospital fund set up as part of President Donald Trump’s tax and policy bill to help offset the impact of looming Medicaid cuts on rural health care systems.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched its Rural Health Transformation Program earlier this month, inviting states to apply for funding to "reimagine care delivery and develop innovative, enduring, state-driven solutions to tackle the root causes of poor health outcomes specific to rural America."
